Microsoft is preparing to make Copilot your new AI assistant for your Android phone. The latest update to the AI chatbot app lets you replace Google Assistant With Copilot on Android phones. Currently, you can only launch Copilot by pressing the navigation bar or home button, just like how you launch the Google Assistant or Gemini. It cannot do any Google Assistant functions on your device.
For your information, recently, Google launched the AI assistant Gemini app for Android, which automatically replaces Google Assistant on your phone. Though Gemini misses some of the best features of Google Assistant, Google will add more functions to the AI assistant via future updates to transform Gemini into a full-fledged AI assistant on Android.
